Why aren't YOU using Shotguns in PVE?
Do share, why don't you use them? And I'd rather have more specific reason than "I don't like them" (which is a valid reason ofcourse), because I'm curious why don't you like them.
Thank you!
EDIT: Typo, and thank you for feedback. :p

Well I don't want to die

Range sucks. The next patch will fix that though giving 100% damage boost in pve.
-
It's not quick to shot gun something then switch to a fusion rifle or sniper on the fly. The short range of the shotgun isnt a good justification of having it in the primary slot. It's only good during very close combat. Also, it's slow..... so slow......
-
I do all the time. It feels like halo.
-
I personally don't feel like an enemy should get that close enough that it requires a shotty. However with the buff to shotguns in PVE coming up, I'll use them more often as I need that grimoire card too.
-
The raid shotgun murders minotaurs coming at you super fast. Other than that i don't use em to much.
-
If I'm close enough for a shotgun to be effective, I'd rather melee instead. It's more satisfying.

When the buff hits I'll dust them off for some strikes to see how them fair.just too risky for most pve encounters

1 ReplyI enjoy shotguns in general, but the weekly content doesn't take Kindly to being close to your target. Lightswitch, elemental burns, and high damage melee minions are a pain. Especially since you can shoot them and they still hit you before they die. Now, when destiny was in beta and first released, the shotguns were good. They had range and a tight spread with little damage falloff. I hope the new pve buff is enough to make them viable.

1 ReplyIt's so simple! You have to be in within the enemy's melee range to get an effective shot, which won't kill high level enemy's. Snipers win every time because you can stay out of both melee and gun range Shotguns will only ever be effective in pve if they where made 1/2 shot killers on lvl 30+ enemies.

1 ReplyIf you're doing anything challenging going into shotgun range is suicide

Range is too short, even with the damage buff they will still be ignored.

I've played around with them in patrols, and it's fun to take a huge leap on my titan land on a legionaire's head and one shot him just as I land. But in strikes the range just kills me. I always feel like if I'm not right in their grill the weapon won't kill them. And strike bosses forget about it. You're using special and heavy weapons to kill those guys and a shotgun simply isn't an option.

Edited by Cubonej: 2/10/2015 10:17:34 PMPVE: shot guns are not very realiable, and very difficult to predict how much damage they will deal so the last thing i want is to miss or not do enouph damage to an enemy right infront of me. PVP: i use them all the time.
-
I use them especially my secret handshake. It's beautiful in pve
-
I use them! Monster damage to the head
-
They are garbage. A fusion rifle is much more effective. I honestly tried hard to like universal remote and found verdict. I did. I ended up dismantling them.
-
Because its shyte
-
They are horrible.
-
Because, until the next patch, they are garbage.
-
1 ReplyNothing gets close enough to me to warrant using one anyway
-
Because their range is garbage, and for most pve encounters you want more than 5 feet between you and your enemy.
